Preparing a Car for Winter Weather

As we plunge into the winter season, the threat of driving in hazardous road conditions is becoming more of a concern for people living in colder climates.  Driving on icy roads always comes with a number of inherent risks.  While you’re on the road, having some basic supplies handy can bail you out of some tough situations.  For example, having a container of a sand-salt mixture can give your tires the traction needed to get you out of that pesky snowbank that came out of nowhere!

Protect Yourself from Scammers Selling Used Cars

We’ve all heard about these creeps: Scammers!  But sometimes, we tend to shelve them into the back of our minds.  Why?  Because we can’t put a face to them, something so arbitrary and unseen can often be hard to take seriously.  If we should be deceived and choose to engage them, we put ourselves at serious risk.  We are most particularly vulnerable when we are trying to buy something over the internet.  Scammers selling used cars can sometimes be very believable when they have something to offer that we need.

Recycle your Car or Go Green with a Hybrid to Benefit the Environment and You

For the past several years, more and more concern has been developing regarding the health of mother earth.  We frequently hear about the catastrophic consequences of the toxic byproducts of human civilization that are paining the terrestrial realm in which we live.  Environmental awareness is placing more recycle bins in homes, increasing the use of reusable grocery bags and perpetuating the rapid expansion of conservation efforts world-wide.  A few years back, I remember scratching my head as a Honda hybrid purred along the freeway.  What a rare site to see!

Military Car Lot Reaches out to Hope for the Warriors

I hope that everyone’s holiday season has been great so far as we are approaching the New Year!  I would also like to mention that Military Car Lot has begun contributing to a wonderful organization called Hope for the Warriors.  Hope for the Warriors is a non-profit organization that caters to the needs of our fellow military members that have sustained injury in combat and even the families of those having paid the ultimate price, a sacrificed life for the sake of our freedom as Americans.

So what is a Military Car Resale Lot and what do I do with it?

How many times have you thought about stopping by the car resale lot on base just to see what’s fresh?  The military car resale lot is unique in the fact that it showcases everything from civics, mini vans, beaters or even that sharp Mazda sitting next to a random sailboat. I’ll admit it, it is always fun to stop by and look at the cars that you could never afford, the white Ducati you’ve been dreaming of, that 1985 RV parked in the corner, or the sleek black convertible that someone just has to let go.  But all too often, the car that would really suit your needs is nowhere to be found!
